7/7 Gm 2 Cubs (Williams) @ Braves (Smoltz) 6:35 PM, WGN

[E.J.]

Hopefully when I come to Wrigley next weekend the Cubs will have a new manager. Can the All-Star break come any faster? :wall:

[Outshined_One]

This team barely has a pulse as far as its playoff chances are concerned.

 

If Florida sweeps them, all will be lost.

[ToupeeOnFire]

If they are sellers, I hope they trade Burnitz. Given the demand for outfielders, they might be able to get something for him.

This team isn't even "fun-bad"

 

It has its moments. When one of the pitchers is on, when Derrek Lee is hitting well, when Ramirez is hitting well, or something like that tends to at least make things interesting.

 

None of that has been happening much recently.

 

Lee should sit until he's 100%. This thing is in the crapper and there's no use taking any chances.

 

This reminds me of one of those days when so much crap happens to you that you can't seem to concentrate or do anything right. Even the good players aren't playing well. I think this is what the term "tail spin" was coined for.

[PackLandVA]

Anybody know where I can get a cheap paper bag?

 

Maybe fans can start wearing "Dust-bags" !

[badger1679666666]

Well at least dempster is pretty good. The hit wasn't drilled at least.

 

So

 

Dempster

Wuertz

Ohman

 

 

anyone else in our pen?

[Brian]

When does football start?

[Lefty]

This team isn't even "fun-bad"

 

Not yet, but we're getting there.

If the Cubs don't win the series all will be lost, and the way they look now I can't see that happeneing.

[Lefty]

hey i thought Hairston couldn't play LF dude.

 

Dusty knows he's getting fired soon. He is just letting it all hang out.

 

I swear the day I wake up, turn on the computer and see a "Baker Fired" thread on NSBB, I am going to run around my apartment complex hooting and hollaring with joy.

 

Very soon, my friend.

We'll I'll be at tomorrow nights & Saturday nights games? Can they fire Dusty tonight?

[XZero771679666304]

Man, I don't even like football that much. I have to wait for college hoops for some relief.

[Cubzfan64]

Put a fork in us - we're done. The team is self destructing right before our very eyes.

[badger1679666666]

Anyone see how despondent Burnitz looked?

 

This team sucks and is depressed. Great.

I know. I dont think i'll be able to contain myself.

Shouldn't the Cubs try to win one of the games before we start talking about the need for a sweep?!?!?

The way it's going it's a possibility.

Where's the chemistry?

[J.R.]

How can Hendry NOT fire Baker at this point?

The point is that I don't think it matters at this point. The "one game at a time" outlook seems a bit superfluous right now.

That a boy Corey go out in style.

[otis89]

How can Hendry NOT fire Baker at this point?

 

He doesn't have enough guts to.

[Flames24Rulz]

IMO, Lee is the only one who gives a crap about this team.

[Roast]

YES! Cubs lose. Hopefully this will be the straw that breaks the proverbial camels back...

[ToupeeOnFire]

Predicted headline in tomorrow's Tribune: Despite Woes, Baker Gets Vote of Confidence.

 

If not tomorrow, I guarantee we will see a headline in this vein in the coming days.
